Hotel Sacher Wien
The Hotel Sacher Wien, which opened in 1876, occupies an enviable spot
on Philharmonikerstrasse directly across from Vienna's State Opera. It
has a storied past and served as a popular setting for spy movies (this
is where Graham Greene was inspired to write the script for the 1949
film noir The Third Man). Equally famous are its classic, jewel-toned
interiors. Guest rooms are decorated with antiques, silk curtains and
select works from the museum-worthy collection of paintings. Two
presidential suites, Madame Butterfly and the Magic Flute, are as grand
as the personages who have checked in (Indira Gandhi, Queen Elizabeth
II, Rudolph Nureyev and Herbert von Karajan), and both overlook the
opera house. The top floor, meanwhile, boasts more contemporary
accommodations, including suites with panoramic terraces.
